Pastor Dr. Herbert Ward, Sr. emphasizes the biblical principle that there is a season and a time for every purpose. Drawing from the book of Ecclesiastes, he distinguishes between positive and negative times—encouraging believers to focus on building, healing, loving, and embracing rather than tearing down, hating, or remaining silent.

Dr. Ward urges Christians to make the most of their time by standing up, gathering strength, embracing others, maintaining faith, pursuing their God-given dreams, and cautions us that silence in the face of wrongdoing is can only hurt us collectively. He shares that Christians are called to speak up, pray, and put on spiritual armor.

Dr. Ward stresses the urgency of accepting Christ, identifying with God, and moving forward in faith, citing examples from the lives of biblical figures like John the Baptist and Abraham. This sermon warns against procrastination and urges listeners to address personal issues, confront realities, and pursue spiritual and practical goals such as health and freedom from debt.

Dr. Ward calls for immediate action—whether it’s confessing wrongs, embracing faith, or seizing opportunities for growth and salvation. The sermon title "the time is now" encapsulates the idea that we must act decisively and with urgency to address the pressing issues of our lives and our times - emphasizing that “the time is now” to make positive changes, accept Jesus, and live according to God’s purpose, as there may not be another chance.
